Hi everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing some last minute Christmas inspiration
for a fairly quick card to make should you have forgotten someone last minute
or are in need of a Gift Card.

My card has all been cut out in glitter card for lots of
sparkle. My Icicles have been drop shadowed with silver glitter card under the
white glitter card to make them 'pop' from the white background. I also drop
shadowed my sentiment.

My whimsical car I cut out in white card and then cut out
my elements in glitter card trimmed the sections I wanted and glued on top of
the white card, adding a couple of gems onto the wheels.

Hi
everyone, today for my DT post at Cherish The Memory I am sharing with you all
some more inspiration using the beautiful Die Cut pads from the Studio Light
Range. These pads are super fun to create with and ideal for this time of year
when you need several Christmas cards. Cherish The Memory have a fab range of
these pads so do check them out HERE.

I added lots of layers to my
card distressing at the edges and adding Ink and a layer of lace Ribbon. My
main image was mounted with foam strips to add dimension and I also added some
Glossy Accents onto my Robin pocket watch.

My Winter foliage was also inked
at the edges and shaped on my Embossing mat to give more dimension and glued in
place with Silicone Glue. I finished with a ready made Poinsettia lots of
glitter and small snowballs.

Hi everyone, this is a scheduled DT post for Craft Consortium as I take a break from Blogland and Facebook. Today I am sharing
some inspiration with a small selection of the amazing Decoupage Papers and
exquisite embellishments all available at Craft Consortium.

My MDF Baubles I rubbed some Gesso over with a baby wipe
and once dry added a layer of Mod Podge and layered my Decoupage Paper on top.
I sanded around the edges when this was dry with a small sanding block, this
gives a lovely neat edge. I then added a layer of Mod Podge Sparkle ontop of my
Decoupage papers for added sparkle.

To give the Vintage look around the edges of my Baubles I
pressed the edges into my Versamark ink pad and heat set Embossing powder.

Now to the fun part of adding lots of pretty
embellishments, flowers and diecuts to decorate my Baubles. Hope you enjoy
looking at the photographs and you feel inspired to make some of these which
would also look amazing hanging as tags on a gift bag.

Hi everyone, thanks so much for stopping by today. If you
missed my last post below you will see I am taking a break at present from blog
following and Facebook.

Today for my DT post at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing
some more Festive Inspiration using some of their beautiful Dies and pretty Maja
Design Papers.

I started by fussy cutting my figure and inking at the edges,
matting and layering onto my tattered inked layers.

I layered a mixture of foilage inking my leaves at the
edges, adding Glossy Accents onto my berries and cutting out my Snowflakes from
Glitter Card and adding some shape into them. Finishing with some flourishes
and a Poinsettia along with a sparkly gem and Accents of Stickles for added
sparkle.

Hi
everyone, I have decided to take a break from Facebook and my Blog until the
beginning of next year. With the loss of our Fur Baby and health problems I
feel I need some time out. So my future posts are all scheduled
and I will just be popping on to Instagram when I can at present.

Today for my DT post at Cherish
The Memory I am sharing with you all some more inspiration using the beautiful
Die Cut pads from the Studio Light Range along with one of their stamp
sets.These pads are super fun to create with and ideal for this time of year
when you need several Christmas cards. Cherish The Memory have a fab range of
this collection so do check them out HERE.

For this card I chose a variety
of the Die Cut designs inking and tattering at the edges. My main images I
added some stamping using the mistletoe wreath in the stamp plate and white
Embossing powder. I put a little cut into my stamp so I was able to stretch it
out to go around my circles. I also stamped some tiny stars and embossed with a
pink glitter powder.

My foilage I shaped on my
Embossing mat, adding Ink to the edges and some Stickles and ribbon
flowers.

Hi everyone, today for my Design Team post at Craft Consortium I am sharing some Festive inspiration using one of their fantastic
Decoupage Papers. They have a vast range of brilliant designs for every type of
crafter so do check them all out HERE.

I bought my sign paper mâché sign in Hobbycraft and I gave
it a layer of Gesso paint applying it with a baby wipe. It's far quicker this
way and you don't end up with brush marks. Once dry I used Mod Podge Matt and
glued my Decoupage paper on top. On this design I opted to layer on the sheet and folded
and glued in place the papers as I wanted to see the full effect of the paper rather
than it being torn in this design.

Once all in place I added another layer of Mod Podge but
this time the Sparkle one, which certainly does make it glisten when the light
catches it.

My card today has lots of Shabby layers on it using Craft
Consortiums beautiful Wild Rose paper pad. I love this pad for making my
flowers as they look so pretty with all the shades.

I used strips of my Japanese Lace Garden Frame to add a
lace border on my layers. My butterflies have tiny flowers added into the
centres of them.

My Chrysanthemum's have been off set at different angles
and some added in bud form for a natural look. My Sweet Christine I have used 4
layers to build them up adding Gems into their centres, also adding a mix of
different leaves.

My sentiment was stamped with Archival ink and layered
onto my tattered Die Cut layers with foam strips for extra dimension, adding
another couple of tiny flowers for more detail.

Hi everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing
some Festive inspiration using their super fun new Brad the Reindeer Die.

I started by cutting out my background layers all in
glitter card for lots of sparkle. My snowflake I layered two different
snowflake Dies to form my snowflower adding lots of bling onto it. This was
then placed onto my Holly Flourish which I cut into sections and placed around
my snowflower.

Brad was cut out in a mixture of kraft, cream and glitter
cardstock. I added a little Distress Ink onto the edges of his face. The
antlers I used Distress Powder and a white Embossing powder for added texture.
